Ecology

Our research is largely concerned with current topics in forest ecology and spatial modelling of biodiversity patterns. The forest ecology research is conduced in the eastern Australian states in Eucalyptus forests and rainforests from northern NSW to Tasmania. Our approaches involve classical field techniques such as permanent plot monitoring, glasshouse experimentation, landscape level harvesting experiments and automated environmental monitoring systems. Our spatial modelling of biodiversity patterns in northern NSW is developing an integrated approach where generalised dissimilarity modelling of floristic dissimilarity is constrained with remotely derived spatially attributed vegetation patterns. Our modelling outputs are fine scale (25m grid resolution) and are routinely used by biodiversity planners in applying government funded programs for environmental incentives and restoration.
